Former Arsenal star leaves club after dog goes missing

Former Arsenal star Aaron Ramsey has made a sudden return to the UK, cutting short his stint in Mexico under difficult circumstances. The Welsh captain has been going through a deeply emotional time following the disappearance of his family dog, Halo — a pet that went missing more than three weeks ago after being left at a ranch near his new home.

Ramsey and his wife Colleen have spoken publicly about their heartbreak, expressing feelings of betrayal after their search for the 10-year-old dog turned up nothing, despite a significant reward being offered.

The personal turmoil comes on top of an injury setback the 34-year-old suffered in late September, which forced him to withdraw from Wales’ World Cup qualifier against Belgium. Since then, Ramsey has not been seen in training with Mexican side Pumas, sparking speculation that his unexpected move to Mexico last summer may already be coming to an end.

He last appeared for the club in a 4–1 defeat to América, a match after which a hamstring problem sidelined him. While that injury kept him out of Wales’ recent international fixtures, the ongoing search for Halo has also contributed to his continued absence from team activities.
